Dear all,

We've just released on our Beta channel for X2 customers a preview of a new maintenance release.

The new version features the following additions and fixes:
* Added automatic handling of the maximum number of processed requests for FastCGI interpreters with a special focus on PHP's case
* Added a default special timeout to better handle reverse-proxying WebSocket back-ends
* Implemented a policy to mitigate any potential BREACH attack by preventing compressed dynamic content over HTTPS
* Added support for redirecting HTTP clear-text requests to their HTTPS counterpart when made on a TLS/SSL-enabled port
* Added support for handling and generating certificates bound to IP addresses and International Domain Names
* Added case-insensitivity support to user names
* Fixed issues and added minor improvements to low-level networking routines
* Updated the internals of the console for better responsiveness

A changelog with detailed descriptions of the above points is available in https://aprelium.com/abyssws/changelog.html#2.16.20 .

Cool... I've installed the beta and will keep you guys updated.
Right now I have a script that kills and restarts the server every hour. I will remove this for now to see if it remains stable.

Thank you a lot for installing and giving the new preview a try on your production servers.

By the way, we've been greatly overwhelmed by the quick and positive feedback of many of our customers who had access to the preview.

So thank you for your continuous support.

The new version has been up & running for 3 days now. And feels quick, especially the GUI feels a bit more snappy. Also my pages that rely on .php feel quicker.
